The main idea behind the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's vision of 2030 is to be an exemplary and leading nation in all aspects of life, especially in the education and training sectors. Therefore, this project tries to achieve one part of numerous ways to develop the Maritime Educational and Training (MET) scheme by providing seafarers with higher competencies to overcome future hindrances and challenges in less time, lower costs, and prevent loss of lives. The gap in knowledge about subjectivity and objectivity in maritime training is the lack of a suitable methodology for maritime simulation training assessments based on objective assessment approaches, which may decrease assessment accuracy, invalidity, unfairness, unreliability, and misjudgment. This project studies the subjectivity and objectivity in simulation training assessments. It develops objective assessment methodologies for identifying subjectivity and enhancing objectivity using maritime merchant simulators and biometric sensors for thorough, objective assessment processes. Currently, there is limited research on identifying subjectivity in assessments. In addition, there needs to be more focus on the advantages of objective assessment within the merchant maritime simulation training industry to uncover the capabilities of the apprentices in keeping on Situational Awareness (SA) and Decision-Making (DM). Due to unforeseen occurrences during maritime operations, SA and DM are affected by several psychophysiological conditions. The methodological training strategies that comply with the competency levels set forth by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) to develop competency assessment objectively. The distillation of this project draws attention to the effectiveness of utilizing the proposed methodologies across Maritime Education and Simulation Training Centers (MESTCs) for objective and rigorous training assessment. It provides scenarios with valuable insight into eliminating subjective assessment instances and increasing objective assessment prototypes.
